Our contemporary calls this state

in his rough way, AN when she died
I cried like woman. Then my
heart seemed to rise in anger against
the mother, and I felt that I could
kill her. 1t seemed to me that ar
babe would be alive an smilin' and
cooin' to-day if her mother had not
deserted her. Then, says I to my
self, I'll be revenged. And so I
wrapped the little one in a blanket,
jumped on my horse and came here.
I'm going to send the mother a little
present, a peace offerin' from her de-
serted husband. I'm goin' to send
her the body of her little 'un.'
He actually procured little coffin
and laid the babe in it, after kissing
the white face again and again, and
cutting a few locks of her golden
hair from the little round head.
There were no tears in his eyes-he
seemed to be past that-but as he
turned away from the railroad station,
where be had shipped the body to an
address in Chicago which I shall not
give, he appeared to me the most
broken hearted man I'd ever seen.
In five minutes he came running
back, seized the little box and ex.
claimed:
No, no! can't do it. Give me

SUNDAY. OCTOBER .. 1857.


The Philadelphia Telegraph says of
the Virginia campaign that although
only four of the twenty-one senators
who bold over are Republicans, and
seventeen are Democrats, and conse'
quently the Republicans must elect
sixty-seven members to have a majority
on Joint ballot, and the Democrats
. need elect only fifty-four, yet MALONE
seems to have chance enough OF sue
cess at least TO brighten the Democrats.
We suspect that the truth is that too
many of the Virginia Democrats are
over.confident rather than frightened.
We have observed no signs Of alarm
even in those counties in which we had
supposed there was good reason for en-
tertaining apprehensions that MALONE
might steal a march upon the unteri-
fed Democracy.
Let the fact be as it may, the Demo
Crafts Of Virginia owe il 10 themselves
and their party and the State to 60 to
work in earnest. IL they are not
alarmed, they ought at least to he work
ing so hard that they can find no time
TO he alarmed If they are alarmed,
then let them go to work for the party
rs a means of Kidding themselves of all
uniounded apprehonsions. The Dem
ocrats who have no reason to be
alarmed are those who are doing their
duty. They have in their own efforts
reason TO hope that all Is well. But
what shall be said Of those Democrats
who profess to be fearful rs to the re-
suits Of the November election and yet
never utter a word nor raise finger to
promote the good cause whose success
they claim to desire above al earthly
things Of the same nature?
Some men take to cover when the
political fight becomes hot. They need
a prospect of certain triumph in order
TO be able 20 work hard for the success
OF their party. Other men have the
bump Of combativeness largely devel-
oped and fight best and hardest when
they arc threatened with overwhelming
defeat. The two classes, therefore,
cannot be reached by the same sort of
arguments, nor moved 10y the same sort
of considerations. But every good
Democrat can take counsel of his
Judgment rather than of his fears or
his hopes or his peculiar propensities'
and determine henceforth to work as
if victory could come only to those
who work increasingly for it.

Oberly's Law.

The Virginia Association in Wash
ington held a meeting on Friday eve
ming, and gave Mr.. OBERLY TO under
stand that they knew their rights, and
knowing dared maintain them. Colonel
l.. Q. WASHINGTON was the first speaker.
He was very severe upon the Commits
sioner. According to the Post he re-
viewed the history Of the Virginia Asso-
citation, which was organized during the
administration Of Mr.. HAYES, Gin the
dark days of Radicalism, and had never
depended upon ofice-holders and ex-
ecutive favor for its existence. Just
here, let us say that communication
in the Washington Post Of yesterday
states that the Virginia Association is
not made up exclusively of oflice-hold-
ers, as asserted 10y 0BERLY, but large
majority of It's officers and members
are businessmen residing in Washing
ton. Its president is q leading mer-
chant Of Washington, and majority of
its Executive Committee are not office
holders or seekers.
Colonel WASHINGTON said that ODER
IY had insultcd the Virginia Association
in writing such letter as he had given
to the press. Colonel WAsHINGToN
said that OBEBLY's letter would be used
as campaign material by the Republi-
cans, who would 60 before the country
and aIraign the Administration for that
production. He charged Mr.. OBERLY
with being an Office seeker, who had
come to Washington to get an Office,
and when he got one kept on until he
got better one, and was now trying
to get still better one.
Captain GLAssCoCK, w. G. MAUPIY,
w. w. MoFrErr, Mr.. BIscOE, and
others also spoke. They all scored
OBEBIY, and some of them declared
that they would work on the streets
rather than be such slaves rs he would
have them all be. The association
finally adopted the following:
Rcsolrcd, That we condemn the re-
cent letter of John II. Oberly making
injurious reflections upon this and other
Democratic State associations; that we
repel as false the statement that this
association or any of its members has
ever violated the law Of the land, and
the further assertions that they have
revived the worst practices Of the worst
Republicans we denOunce as SANDER,
not only upon our association and other
kindred associations, but also upon the
national Democratic Administration.
This association was organized in the
worst days of Radicalism, and will con
tiuuc to perform its mission regardless
Of Mr. Oberly, so long as the Radical
TaI% menaccs the liberties and pros
perity of the country.
We are not surprised. As we said yes
tcrday we have fallen upon evil times
if the Office holders under the United
States Government are not to be al
lowed TO assemble together, nor to make
contributions to the fund of their
Democratic brethren at home, nor to
talk politics. The people will not ac-
knowledge that such regulations indi-
cate any refoIm Whatever in the civil
service.

affirmed to be "pcrfectly reliable "

adds:
"The adjustment Of the tax was
agICed upon at the late conference OF

apart OF the plan to reduce the surplus

This story is completely spoiled by
the fact which at the time of Mr.. CAR

namely, that Mr.. RANDALL was present

Rev. Otis A. GIazebrOOk.

A telegram from Elizabeth City, n.
j., says : cat meeting of the vestry
of St. Johns church Thursday night
action was taken on the report OF the
committee appointed to examine into
the charges made ut Durham, Conn,
against Rector Otis A. Glazebrook.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
their persuasion of Rector Glazebrook's
entire innocence and the conviction
that the parties making the charges
were mistaken. The Rector is re-
quested to continue his ministrations,
ard hearty support is pledged him
This news will be gratifying to large
number of persons in Richmond. Mr..
Glazebrook was born in this city, and
educated here and at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute Subsequently he took
orders in the Episcopal Church, and is
known as an earnest worker. He was
two years chaplain at the University,
and IT was principally through his ex-
ertions that the beautiful new chapel
was erected there. The charge against
him was a serious one, but none who
knew him and of the life he has led
from his boyhood up doubted that the
investigation would end just as it has.
Since the above was put IN type the
New York IVorid of yesterday, con-
tanning details of the investigation, has
been received. The World says that a
committee was appointed by the yestry
and made several visits to Durham and
took testimony i'll the case. Mr.. Glaze
brooks accusers were eX mined and
were utterly unable to prove their state
ments to be true. They were taken to
the cemetery and placed in the exact
position from which they said they had
seen what they charged 1t was shown
that occupying these places it was a
physical impossibility for the boys to
have seen anything at all. In addition,
the details rs recited by the accusers
were palpably impossible.
The committee and even the outside
public laughed at the story, and Mr..
GlazcbroOk was completely cXonerated.
The lIOrid also gives the text OF the
resolutions of the vestry, as follows
Hcsoircd, That having patiently and
exhaustiyely examined. both by oral
evidence and personal inspection, all
the circumstances and Surroundings Of
the alleged immortality on the part OF
our rector, the Rev. O. A. Glazebrook,
We are deliberately persuaded OF his
entire innocence OF the charge, being
convinced that the parties making it
are mistaken.
RcSOircd, That he berequested to at
once resume his ministrations in st.
Johns church, and that we pledge him
our most earnest aud hearty support in
all good works, trusting that when pas
sion and prejudice shall have been dis
sipated by time all right-thinking men
will admit the wisdom and justice of
onr verdict
